I always thought re-pathing means searching a new path to destination, not switching the destination (if not necessary)... There are 2 differents things, what you describe would be "path-revalidation" in this https://wiki.factorio.com/Railway/Train_path_finding While what happens i think is trigger...

My guess is that some closer train station are freed before the train that was routing to the further one had reached it. Then this train using regular repath conditions switches its target destination to the newly found closest station. Reading incoming train to the far station would then change ac...

Thank you for some context. The trouble is that in a train stop name, there isn't any context. I just typed this on duckduckgo and look at when it´s used, there is twitter hashtag too and it´s not about mocking people ´s hair but rather sharing tips on how to slow down unwanted hair growth. True th...

Those kind of moment i try to dissecate music box blueprints gathered randomly throughout multiplayers

Also works with sliding text display, pi calculator and all sort of contraptions clever people came up with !

talking about educating oneself => https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25264521/ https://www.beautyglimpse.com/do-you-know-about-these-side-effects-of-hair-retarder-read-on/ personnaly i found myself in an economically-challenged position and find the work "broke" and "poor" offensive. Could you please ...

Very interesting (hi)story, demonstrating if need be that this sticky post is accurate : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30240 ( I want to make suggestions, but I got links to mods!! )

It's ok to answer "slowly" :) not everyone has the same consideration of time. I am not understanding what you call "reservation", but i would consider it is a name you use to describe your system, it's not the internal technical "reservation" that the game uses to manage train logic. This may have ...

The main risk of these methods (imo) is that inserters pick up one ressource, then can't load all they grabbed due a train being full and leaving, they won't put back the ressource in the chest, and when another train arrive, they would either drop the unwanted ressource on the cargo if you used cir...

Is there an analysis of how this compares with an ordinary LHD roundabout without the extra cross-tracks throught the middle of the circle?

Not that i know of, but it should yield pretty similar result to the "crossabout" vs "roundabout" shown in page 1. Given this is a smaller "crossabout".

Not sure this should be here or in suggestions, but: Why is there no check for whether what you have quoted is actually what was posted,[add tons of crap here] or a way of approving quotes of yourself - There is nothing stopping me just changing what someone said in a quote of that person. there is...

yep that's better

but i have experienced that the trains actually skip the pickup station completely instead of waiting at their current stop, this means they will go towards the dropoff station without even having a full inventory, a condition for them to wait until the next stop has reservations for the train woul...

If you have 2 stations called A both with a limit set to 1 and have a train travelling to both stations and disable one of those stations one of the trains will instant stop with "destination full", this should act the same as the previous scenario where the train treats the disabled station as a w...

I think the vanilla pump is your circuit-controllable non-return valve. Having a tank filling up for each fluid/gas allow for reading the quantity of either propene or residual. And add pumps connecting those tanks to flare stack. Then you can use combinators to do operation on those numbers if need...

Great !

1) What is the logic for calling construction bots to work? When I drop a blueprint to build an outpost, it looks like the summoned bots are coming from far away from the base, fly all across the map to get supplies then fly all across the map to lay things down to the blueprinted area there's a di...

How do I get the rocket launcher to target ground? I've tried pressing 'C', but it still won't fire without a target. SPACE shoots to the nearest enemy unit, C shoots to mouse pointer if there's something like a unit, structure or tree, ground or water was never targetable IMHO. this doesn't apply ...

The consensus I seem to pick up is that pollution-induced attacks are something to be avoided? Whether by managing pollution or a biter eradication program, it looks like you don't like it when a nest comes under the cloud. It also depends on settings, if you play without biter expansion like in a ...

I like the fact that's optionnal. On my old laptop there is a delay during scene transition, which freeze the background but also the ability to interact with the menu which is unfortunate. The more frequent the scene transition the worse it gets. Apart from that i like the idea of having game image...

That makes this strategy less of a resource saver then I was hoping. this strategy can be a big ressource saver early game, when the pollution cloud is manageable and only triggers attacks from one or few directions. To avoid this moment when you want to wall off everything, but it feels too early,...
